Open letter to Anon: Cometh the hour cometh the Glaswegian, I have decided that I am going to be a candidate for Glasgow City Council standing in Ward 3 which is Pollok, George Laird to hit the campaign trail in the quest for public office yet again

Dear Anon

Firstly thank you for the endorsement of George Liard,
however perhaps one day you might also wish to endorse me as well as the candidate for Ward 3 which is Pollok.

“I believe it is time for you to run for the office of Prime
Minister of Great Britain. I see you have the potential to become the Abraham
Lincoln of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, because I see you as such”.

I assume this is a reference to the freeing of the last
great slave encampment of the white working class which needs to be freed.

“The United Kingdom of Great Britain already has it's own
Jefferson Davis which is Nicola Sturgeon and it's time that the nation has it's
own Abraham Lincoln which is you”.

As I recall Lincoln although doing a great deal of good was shot in
the head by John Wilkes Booth, an actor, obviously in politics at present things
are a bit dicey especially in Europe.

I think you however have hit the nail squarely on the head
when you talked about unpopular Nicola Sturgeon as Jefferson Davis:

“His preoccupation with detail, reluctance to delegate
responsibility, lack of popular appeal, feuds with powerful state governors and
generals, favoritism toward old friends, inability to get along with people who
disagreed with him, neglect of civil matters in favor of military ones, and
resistance to public opinion all worked against him. Historians agree he was a
much less effective war leader than his Union counterpart Abraham Lincoln”.

Ms. Sturgeon to a tee, are you aware that ‘redneck’ is a
term which was used because Scots weren’t used to the Sun and ended up being
burnt. Of course, I like the State of Kentucky because of fried chicken, which
as you maybe be also aware in bloody marvellous cooked right with onion rings,
fries and washed down with cold pepsi.

“George Laird, you are a man of honour, courage, decency,
bravery, integrity, greatness, loyalty, etc and the nation very badly needs you
to be it's Prime Minister to destroy the Scottish National Party and to end
forever Scottish Nationalism once and for all”.

I recently left the Scottish Labour Party, I gave my word to
certain people I would stand as a candidate in the 2017 election, leaving the
party wasn’t a big deal or a hardship for me, some people thought it was rather funny
to discriminate against me. As the Labour Party is in a state of near collapse
you would think that someone would have the brains to work out that Labour in
Glasgow need all the help they can get with Labour councillors jumping ship,
resigning and not being selected and rejected like in the recent case of Bill
Butler, the former MSP.

I am not sure about being Prime Minister, but I do think I
would make a hell of an MP in the classic sense of William Wilberforce. All I
need is for someone to give me a chance to show but in politics, I don’t fit
into the clique; of course they are happy enough to use me to get them elected.

Time for a funny story because funny stories brighten the
day up, during the Holyrood 2016 election, I did the Labour Campaign of Johann
Lamont, it wasn’t very good and even an ex councillor said to me it was a
shambles. The campaign started late, hadn’t any money, no one in the Pollok CLP
was willing to come out for the ex-Scottish Labour leader. She lost, however that isn’t the funny part of
the take, just some background to pad out the scene so you get a feel for the
landscape.

So, as the campaign wasn’t very good, I said we should have
some meetings to plan how we all go forward, in fact, I suggest the only two
meetings of the campaign, one to sort out polling day, and one to sort out the
last week of the campaign and passes to the count. I and others who attended
the polling day meeting that everyone who was there would get a ticket to the
count; there were seven people and Ms. Lamont. Now, the funny bit, at the next
meeting to sort out the last week so the candidate could decide where she
wanted to go, at the end of the meeting when I asked about collecting a ticket
for the count, Johann Lamont told me that I wasn’t getting a ticket.

How funny is that, to make a verbal promise to someone who
had been loyal and then to do this to them. At the first meeting of the Pollok
CLP, there was no appearance by Ms. Lamont to thank the people who done her
campaign in person, no email or letter to those who had come out and worked
tirelessly on her benefit. I don’t think in the end the humour of what happened
to me lasted too long, on the night of the count I got a ticket handed to me. I
had five months before the election decided to ask someone in another party if
they could get me a ticket as a backup. The look on the face of Ms. Lamont and
her election agent Kevin O’Donnell didn’t appear to be one of joy that I got
in. I think they realised at that point I had an alternative plan and that it precede
the rejection of the polling station meeting.

I kept my promise to do the Labour Campaign of Johann Lamont,
my campaign finished exactly at 4.30 pm on polling day.

I wonder if on the off chance that there is an early election
called by Nicola Sturgeon in 2018 over Brexit would Johann Lamont come and ask
me to do her campaign in future when clearly I wasn’t valued and made to feel
part of the campaign team. After all, it isn’t like she could say to me that I
have made any future promises to her which she could call on.

To return to Ms. Sturgeon wish you quoted:

“Nicola Sturgeon would shit her pants at the sight and sound
of your name”.

I believe that Ms. Sturgeon likes curry which does produce
gas commonly known as farts, so I have no doubts her pants (presumably the
sensible variety which hold things in) may indeed be visited by shit.

As to scaling the political heights, each journey begins
with one step, so I will be standing for council in 2017, and I will keep
standing for public office until I get in, some people took quite a few goes to
get elected and I am in for the long haul.

In a sense me getting in would be a laugh because the SNP establishment would have to keep their mouths shut which I stand up in the council
chamber and hold them to account, and also could you imagine the look on
unpopular Nicola Sturgeon’s face if I got in, it would be like her coming home,
tired and hungry, walking into the living room and finding out someone had crapped
on the living room carpet, the deep shag pile.

Don’t you think that is worth fight for?

Finally, speaking of George Laird types being suitable for public office.

Any funding would have to be declared and that means full name and address etc otherwise it wouldn't comply with election law.

Thnak you for considering me as a viable candidate, I don't know if you are aware but Bill Butler, the Pollok Cllr got bounced by the CLP as a candidate, and he was very high profile in Labour. Pollok is going through a difficult time at present.
